Politics - 12 July 2007

The South's efforts for re-unification seems like a person who consistently takes back an abusive ex. The North does not like them ad has been brain-washed to hate them because they are US Puppets. It's a shame to see the South's government continue with this charade. Any IR people have any insigh into this? And do the citizens of South Korea want the re-unification?

debate you? I always thought part of the reason of a debate was to learn something you never knew.

I was happy to read how many people were open to new viewpoints if the argument was good enough. Still some that never "flip-flop". So why would anyone waste their time on a debate with those people?

List of the usually-argued fake reasons and why they're fake:

1) "The deficit" - - tax revenue is UP since the tax cuts and is rising at over 4X the rate of inflation - - - yes we have a deficit problem but that means we need to cut SPENDING. When your boss gives you a raise that's $2K more than you expected and your husband blows $3K more than you expected at the dog track, the problem's not with your boss!

2) "They went only to the rich" --- First of all, that's not true. Second, even if it were true, it's their money - someone else's tax cut doesn't harm you. It doesn't mean "you have to pay more" if revenue is going UP. Moreover, the top 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% of taxpayers pay an INCREASING share of the tax burden since the tax cuts went into effect.

3) "Lower income folks should get a tax cut" - sure, go ahead, I'll support ANY tax cut - but again, revenue is UP - cutting Peter's taxes is not a reason to raise Paul's taxes.

In other words we gave them a benchmark. They still have not reached this benchmark or any others. Our government has been around for 200+ years, and would probably not meet any of the political benchmarks they put forward towards the newly elected Iraqi government. Hypocritical? What's your opinion?

yet have never accepted that they were defeated in 2000. Can you honestly hold open debate with someone who still claims Bush stole the 2000 election. Our Supreme Court backed by the US constitution concluded that Bush won. This was before Bush appointed any judges. That is how our government works.

We Indians do have an attitude to adjust to every circumstance imaginable and im sure most of you might not agree to it. But just think, You wake up every morning and realise water shortage, therefore you adjust to it, the bus station is overcrowded and unsystematic. Apart from his or her daily work he or she might come across similar hazzles in government offices- the stuff that goes under the table, electricity cut outs and what not and surprisingly we adjust to it.Now the first thing you might say is if we dont adjust to it we dont stand a chance. Well true. But then if our attitudes dont incline away from adjusting to it we dont stand a chance in the world arena. I mean look at us. We are known as the second fastest developing nation but our civic infrastructure is crumbling. Our nation at the moment is heading for something big yet we dont feel it. And i think its our attitude of adjusting to problems and not finding solution. Let me know what you think.

"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind, We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask: what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory - victory - at all costs, victory, in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

I love this quote!

someone answered a question perfectly with an answer that was a different view than their own?


Example: If you are for or against the Iraq war if someone gave an opposing view that was impossible to be argued with, would it be possible for you to change your view on the war?

I don’t think anyone denies that the earth is getting warmer but scientist has confirm that the temperature on Venus, Mars ,Jupitor, Pluto etc has also increase they also know that solar activity over the last decade has increased. Now please explain in a logical and coherent way how the increase solar activity by the Sun has warmed up the other planets in our solar system but has been able to bypass this planet.

(New Jersey- WABC, July 11, 2007) - A New Jersey senator wants to make it illegal to sell or give to anyone under age 18 toy guns that look so realistic they can be mistaken for a real firearm.

"It misses the mark because it demonizes toys instead of criminal behavior," said Scott Bach, president of the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistol Clubs, which is the National Rifle Association's New Jersey organization.

I answer questions without any type of bias, and without bashing or blaming liberals or conservatives for certain things. I am so sick of many conservatives bashing liberals and liberals bashing conservatives. We are supposed to be a united country, not a divided one over politics and political parties. George Washington, very possibly our best President ever, warned against people fighting over political ideology and political parties. The Founding Fathers would be ashamed of what the country they worked so hard to make free and united has become. I just wish more people would be independent and not fight all the time.

Four years ago all Republicans were for the war and now many are flip flopping and saying "End the war". What happened?

Trillions of dollars in "unsupported adjustments" means trillions of dollars unaccounted for. What's going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? Where are the checks and balances? How much more has gone missing? Is this happening in the other government agencies too? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer? Who is responsible for this? Who can we trust to fix it?

I never thought the Republicans would turn against the Iraq war but everyday more and more Republicans are not supporting the war. Could it be because 70% of Americans are against the war?

About a month ago, Dennis Milligan, the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, sounded pretty excited about the prospect of domestic terrorism. Yesterday, Rick Santorum echoed a similar sentiment on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show.

Why would they look forward to the death and fear caused by terror attack?
